This is true. Point taken!

Why even care about some irrelevant girl from your past? Devoting even 1% of your cognition because she's now fat and you lost weight, is an exercise in futility and false satisfaction.
She probably still doesn't like you!

Practice schadenfreude, you'll be happier.
Can't say that the Karma train did me any favors.
I was the computer geek in HS(13+ years ago), always nice and respectful, but the rich/spoiled people in HS who were jerks, popular snobbish, etc are still Rich and Spoiled and living large. Meanwhile I am not lol.
Can't say i'm jealous, would be nice though for the lotto to throw me a win

I'm totally with you on that. Living life expecting karma to throw me a bone has set me back years.
It's actually changed my entire way of thinking. But if I see someone in desperate need (friends/family/a stranger/an animal), I still always help. But I no longer expect anything in return, especially from the man in the sky.

Yah, This seems to be more schadenfreude than Karma. You should be proud of yourself for your achievement. If you were hassled by your school mates, then in a way, they impelled you to lose weight and put on muscles. You should thank them. That's Karma

So you getting a bunch of money (why is this always about money?!) so that you are now rich/ spoiled would somehow correct a universal imbalance?
1) Why is this always predicate upon money? If you are happy, is that not the best thing that could ever be for you? If you are not happy, do you expect money to change your soul? If you are nice and respectful and these other folks are not, how is it that you measure them to be better off than you??!!
2) Did these rich/ spoiled people in HS not "deserve" their lifestyle? If not, why not? Are you the arbiter of these things? Is Karma?
3) How does you becoming like them make anything better? Wouldn't it just add one more rich jerk to the world? Who would then be the geek to your rich/ spoiled jerk?
I know that "Karma" is just slang in this context; but if we look at it from a more contemplative perspective, *you are the Karma train*.

"You are the Karma train." This is an excellent point. We have an endless opportunity to create our own reality. My message to young people is this: don't waste your time, like I did. Do good things, and keep building on it.
